We do not need to keep laying down concrete on beautiful British soil, we are living right now in a man making climate change - we need trees plants and pollinators to try and begin to reverse the damage we have done to this world

This is a beautiful part of the world and is completely unsuitable for this mass development

This is a beautiful rural area which I know very well as my horse was stabled at Netherclay and I regularly rode through Orchard Portman. There are already so many new housing developments in Taunton, please do not ruin this special landscape with yet another huge development in a totally unsuitable location.

This is MY HOME, MY COUNTRYSIDE in MY COUNTRY. We do not need these houses on prime agricultural land.

Instead of building a town near it,which will destroy and damage existing eco systems, it should be given National parks status and protected.

Taunton is already overpopulated and our roads are becoming more and more congested. Besides that new reservoirs are never built to compensate for the extra water usage.

Nature is more important and we have plenty of houses empty.

I live in the local area and am concerned with how this will impact traffic and services within Taunton and especially around Chestnut Drive.

I do not see that we need any more new housing. There is no infrastructure and we can’t keep taking natural habitat from wild birds and animals.

Because the destruction of productive farmland and beautiful countryside is unacceptable and unwanted.

Destruction of beautiful countryside unnecessarily. Just don’t need another 7000 houses

I live near the proposed development. We don't need this many new houses on farm land when we can't produce enough food o

Such a large scale development on this site is totally inappropriate - the infrastructure, water and roads particularly, just cannot take it. Where are residents going to work? The artist's impression of the development is totally misleading. What evidence is there that they will use active travel? The development in such an environmentally sensitive area is inappropriate too. Planning law is totlly unfit for purpose. It produces unimsginative copycat developments that totally disregard the land
